"I have taken a lot of break in the middle, which I really enjoyed. Taking care of kids and family was very important to me. That will always be my first priority," said Karisma who is returning to movies after nine years.
"Now my daughter is older and she has started going to school, so I get time. If you work in moderation and prioritize, it's good to work and be active," the 37-year-old told reporters here at the launch of McDonalds Spongebob Happy Meal.
Karisma quit showbiz after marrying Delhi-based businessman Sanjay Kapur in 2003. They have two children - daughter Samaira and son Kiaan. Now she is making a comeback with Vikram Bhatt's 3D film "Dangerous Ishq".
Meanwhile, referring to younger sister Kareena's comment that their grandfather Raj Kapoor was biased towards her, Karisma said: "I think she means it in a nice way. I was the first grandchild and then I had my grandfather's eyes.
"I think there was a little gap and then Kareena, Ranbir and Riddhima came in quick succession. So, I was the special one for a while."
Karisma will be seen as a supermodel in "Dangerous Ishq", which also features model-turned-actor Rajneesh Duggal in the male lead. It is slated for a May release.
Dangerous Ishq' trailer comes with 'Titanic 3D'
Director-producer Vikram Bhatt's next film "Dangerous Ishq" which is in 3D, will have its theatrical trailer released with "Titanic 3D" Thursday.
"The trailer of 'Dangerous Ishq' is coming with 'Titanic 3D' from tomorrow. The Hindi version is coming with 'Housefull 2' but that is 2D. We need a 3D film for a 3D version or else just for a trailer nobody is going to give you 3D glasses," Vikram Bhatt told.
However, the director seems to be quite confident with his film and claims that if you work majorly on 3D, then it will work.
Vikram said, "It (3D) has worked for me. If you have done the major part 3D and not converted it, then it will work. It depends on your work."
He further added, "After a point, it's the story that matters. A 3D film is a3D but many of them have a setup box these days as well."
Directed by Vikram Bhatt, the film marks the comeback of Karishma Kapoor and also features Rajneesh Duggal and Divya Dutta.
